I was thinking today, why not run synthetic oil in these old tractors. I think I would try it on a rebuilt engine, being that you wouldn't have to contend with the old non-synthetic oil & sludge. I know Mobil now offers a 0w-30 & and 0w-40 oil that, to me seems like a great choice (as it would stay really stable in all temps.). I'm a big fan of synthetic oils.

So I thought it just might be fun to discuss, what do you guys think?
